    Recent studies have shown that the castle was built in its current appearance around 1275, although the toponym Castrum Argenteum appears as early as 1176.
    The builder was probably Master James of Saint Georges, architect of Count Peter II of Savoy, already active in Wales.
    The promontory on which the castle stands and which overlooks the town of Villeneuve was already inhabited in proto-historic times, as well as in Roman times.
    Its strategic position meant that the castle always remained in the hands of the Count of Savoy.
